  The CDS Science plan was aborted at 21:33 UT.  The Science Plan was
executing the Emergency Study since 01:00 UT, which had been appended to the
plan by mistake.
  CDS warmstart recovery procedures were begun at 21:37 UT by going to
STANDBY.  The CDS primary processor was reset at 21:42 UT.  CDS was brought
back up to READY_BOTH at 22:52 UT.  Upon returning to READY_BOTH, it was
noticed that the patches on the GIS had become corrupted.
  All 3 GIS patches were successfully loaded at 23:22 UT.  CDS recovery
procedures were completed at 23:48 UT.  CDS is nominal after the recovery.
  The Science Plan will resume at 02:00 UT (DOY 281).
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: 
  AT 23:08 UT, the IWS command rate was reset to 1/3 sec. to enable the GIS
patches to be reloaded.
DAY PLAN: S/C Maneuvers, CDS Reboot.

CDS INSTRUMENT: 
  At 11:22 UT, CDS experienced a WATCHDOG Event Error.  This caused CDS to
violate Red Low limits due to the MCU being disabled in SNOOZE Mode.  The
MCU was re-enabled at 11:29 UT, when the CDS went to STANDBY, because no
command was issued within 3 minutes.  Next recoverable pass will be at
19:40 UT (with NRT at 20:15 UT).
  CDS Recovery procedures were started at 20:29 UT by returning CDS to
SNOOZE Mode.  The CDHS was rebooted at 20:30 UT and the LOBT was distributed
at 20:33 UT.  CDS was returned to READY_BOTH Mode at 21:22 UT and recovery 
procedures were completed at 21:40 UT.  CDS is nominal at following the
recovery.
  The Science Plan will resume at 02:00 UT, DOY 288.

SCIENTIST: J. Ireland
CDS INSTRUMENT: 
  CDS observed an X18 Flare at 11:02 UT (s28816r02) which caused a proton
storm (MEV/50 levels peaking just below 10^3).  CDS was safed by aborting
the on-board study, disabling the DCS, GIS HV, NIS HV, and homing the
mechanisms.
  A Science plan was prepared and loaded to start as early as 00:30 UT
(DOY 302), in case proton levels subsided and a late recovery was possible.
However, proton levels are still above a safe operating level, so recovery
will be reassessed in the morning.
CDS GROUND SYSTEM: Nominal.
DAY PLAN: No Science Operations.
COMMENTS: CDS is Safed due to Proton Storm!

  An X11 Flare occured which resulted in another spike in Proton levels.
CDS will remain safed another day until proton levels subside.
  A parity error was detected on the Primary Processor at memory location
#8007a67f.  This is in an unused portion of memory.  No action necessary.

  The following studies were imported in to the EOF:
